Story of Yashoda maa witness the entire universe in Krishna's mouth

Once, little Krishna and his brother Balarama were playing under a huge mango tree in their house's front yard. At the same time, their mother, Yashoda, was busy cooking in the kitchen. 

'Looks like our mother is cooking a delicious meal. I can smell it. I am already hungry!' said Balarama, sniffing the delicious steam from the kitchen. Krishna rolled his eyes and said, 'I have a plan!'

He pointed his finger to the tree, 'Why don't you pluck mangoes from here!' Balarama liked his plan and climbed up the tree. Atop the tree, he realized, 'But my little hands can contain only one mango.'  

Krishna replied, 'We will share it and save space for Mother's meal in the tummy.' Balarama plucked one mango and came down. To his surprise, he saw little Krishna was swallowing mud. 

Krishna's mud-smeared mouth made him laugh. However, Balarama controlled his laughter and shouted to call Yashoda, 'Mother, I caught Krishna eating mud.' Yashoda came to the tree from the kitchen. 

Seeing her in anger, Krishna ran around the tree. Yashoda, too, ran behind him. Huffing, she caught him, 'You mischievous boy!' She made little Krishna sit on her lap and asked him to open his mouth. 

Reluctantly, Krishna did so. On his tongue, she witnessed stars. Then, the universe, space, lands, mountains, and oceans appeared inside his little mouth. She couldn't believe what she saw. 

Yashoda rubbed her eyes and then embraced Krishna. Krishna said, 'Mother, I am hungry!' Yashoda was still worried and said, 'But! I just saw something strange inside your mouth, Krishna!'

'What did you see, mother?' asked little Krishna. A pungent smell tickled her nose, and instantly, she forgot everything she had just seen. She cried, 'Oh! I brunt my rice!'

She stood up to run to the kitchen, but Krishna held her hand and said, 'Mother, you just said you saw something strange!' Yashoda replied, 'Really! When did I say that?' and ran to the kitchen

Krishna winked at Balarama. They shared a burst of mischievous laughter. 'So, you wanted to scare mother!' Krishna laughed and said, 'No! I just wanted to show her the universe!'

Balarama and little Krishna laughed. 'What's the use? She doesn't remember anything!' said Balarama. Krishna showed him the mango, 'Just like you don't remember this mango!' They both giggled. 'Let's eat!' said Balarama.

Moral: A child's mischief brings joy to loved ones.

Story of Saraswati Maa And Universe Creation

A long time ago, Lord Brahma took up the task of creating the universe. However, he believed he should seek a goddess's support to succeed, so he prayed to the cosmos for help.

After a while, a goddess appeared clad in a white sari and golden ornaments, holding a veena. She bowed and greeted Lord Brahma.

Lord Brahma named her Saraswati. He bestowed upon her the title of the Goddess of Knowledge, Music, Creativity, Wisdom, and Speech. She said, 'Lord, I am here to assist you in creating the Universe.'

Goddess Saraswati began playing her veena, and tiny blinking lights appeared in the cosmos. Lord Brahma named those little lights Stars. She then created the Sun, Moon, Earth, and other Planets. 

Lord Brahma was very impressed with Goddess Saraswati's creativity. He asked her to beautify Earth, and at Lord Brahma's behest, she descended from heaven to Earth. 

She played her veena and created nature: the skies, mountains, green lands, rivers, and oceans. She now invited Lord Brahma to Earth, and Lord Brahma was fascinated by Mother Earth's beauty. 

Goddess Saraswati asked, 'Lord, don't you think we will need humans to care for Mother Earth?' Lord Brahma agreed and created Humans. 

She happily played her veena. Humans, nature, animals, plants, and other living beings were fascinated by the melody played by Goddess Saraswati, so they started dancing to the tunes.

As the music mesmerized the children, they ran to Goddess Saraswati. A curious little one asked, 'How do you play it? What is it called?' She replied, 'It's called a veena! You can play it too'. 

Excited children expressed their desire to learn music, gain knowledge, and become intelligent. They asked her many questions. She smiled at their innocence and happily answered them. 

Later, she placed a miniature veena in the little girl's hand. She then gifted the children interesting books, painting accessories, and various musical instruments. The children accepted the gifts and jumped with joy.

Goddess Saraswati blessed them with knowledge, music, arts, wisdom, and speech. Thus, after seeking Goddess Saraswati's blessing, children lived happily ever after with their parents. 

Moral: Embrace the infinite and incredible power of the divine Goddess Saraswati.

Story of Little Hanuman And The Sun

 

Once, little Hanuman was fast asleep in his cradle. In his dream, he saw himself eating delicious mangoes and apples. After a while, Hanuman woke up hungry. 'Mamma, mamma,' he yelled for fruits.

His mother, Anjana, was not at home. Then, he saw the Sun rising. To Hanuman, the Sun looked like a juicy orange fruit. He was so hungry that he decided to bring fruit by himself.

He took off from his cradle and started flying towards the Sun at an incredible speed. However, when the Sun spotted Hanuman speeding towards him, he got worried, 'Why is this little one flying towards me?' 

Lord Indra was passing by riding on his elephant, Airavata. The magical white elephant had four tusks. In no time, Hanuman arrived and said, looking at Sun, 'Yummy, now I can eat this shining fruit.'

Sun replied to Hanuman, 'Hey, little one, I am not a fruit. I am Sun.' Lord Indra tried to stop Hanuman from eating Sun. When Hanuman didn't stop reluctantly, Lord Indra hit Hanuman with Vajra, his powerful weapon. Vayu arrived to protect Hanuman.

Little Hanuman fell from the sky. Vayu ran to the falling Hanuman. He held Hanuman in his arms and went inside a cave. 'Are you okay, Hanuman? Don't worry! You are safe now!' he said to Hanuman.

The wind stopped blowing. Mother Earth and all living beings gasped for breath as angry Vayu locked himself in the cave with Little Hanuman. Lord Indra and other Gods reached outside the cave.

Worried, Vayu shook Hanuman to wake him up from unconsciousness. Lord Indra pleaded, 'Sorry, Hanuman! To make up for my mistake, I bless you with boons,'. After a while, Hanuman regained consciousness and jumped with joy. 

Lord Indra chanted mantras and blessed Hanuman with boons. 'Thank you for blessing me with boons. Now, I have to go home,' said Hanuman. He wished the Sun, Vayu, other Gods, Lord Indra, and Airavata goodbye.   

With his new powers, Little Hanuman jumped from one tree to another. Then he took off to the skies, happily playing with clouds. Then he saw his mother, Anjana, plucking fresh fruits from trees. 

He ran back to his cradle and acted like he was fast asleep. 'Hanuman, wake up my child,' lovingly said Anjana. Then, thinking about his adventure in the skies, Hanuman grinned.  

'Aren't you hungry, Hanuman? I have fresh fruits for you,' she said as she woke him up. He embraced his mother and excitedly said, 'I just met Airavata in my dreams, Mamma!' Anjana smiled at his innocence.

Moral: A child's innocence is a gift that should be cherished.
